    According to ESPN, the odds of this happening on a given day (in which all 30 teams played) would be 1 in 32,000, assuming each game is a 50/50 proposition. Of course, the home team does have a slightly better chance to win, in general (not always, though. For example the Twins, definitely the worst team in MLB right now, were at home and have less than a 50% chance to win any game they play).

    I am sure some SABRmetrician can probably figure out what the chance was that those 15 games would all be won by the home team.

    I would say that if MLB stays with this number of teams and this basic schedule forever, this is probably less than a once per decade occurrence.

    The question is, will we ever get all road teams to win? The article points out that road teams went undefeated at 7-0 a couple of years ago. Tacking 8 more games on that would certainly have ended the dream...

    HOLD ON A MINUTE THE TWINS WERE IN THE WILD CARD RACE THAT YEAR!
